tailieunhanh - Bunch yield of ‘Grand Naine’ (AAA) banana as influenced by the varied components of precision farming systems

The present study was programmed in 2014-15 to evaluate the efficacy of the varied components of precision farming systems comprising drip irrigation (80% ER), fertigation (75% RDF), micronutrient foliar spray (Commercial formulation ‘Tracel’2%), bunch spray of sulphate of potash (2%) as well as black LDPE film (50µ) mulch over the traditional system of soil nutrient application (110g N, 33g P2O5 and 330g k2O) and flood irrigation (15 day intervals) in ‘Grand Naine’ banana. Components of precision farming significantly increased bunch yield. The highest bunch weight ( kg) as well as highest yield () were recorded in all combinations of precision farming components with drip-fertigation. Micronutrient foliar spray, bunch spray with potassium and black LDPE film mulch. Computation of Harvest Index reveals highest Harvest Index of 32% in all combinations of precision farming components as against the lowest of 30% in traditional system of banana culture depicting the superiority of the precision farming system over the latter. | Bunch yield of Grand Naine AAA banana as influenced by the varied components of precision farming systems
